Court of Gold

I probably would have rated this series even higher if I was more of an NBA fan. I wasn't overly interested in these players coming into this docuseries, but some of the stories and players were compelling. I really love the Olympics, so any time I get to watch athletes represent their country I am entertained. Don't get turned off by a slow start to this series, it builds to a finale just like the games do. I'm glad there is focus on a variety of nations and not just Team USA. My only major complaint is that I wish South Sudan was featured, that would have made the series even better I'm sure. Overall I highly recommend this for fans of any sport.

This was a very enjoyable docuseries that followed four great teams during their time in the Paris Olympics. I really liked seeing more about other countries besides just the USA. To get to know the players and coaches for the other national teams was a great insight to the personalities of lesser known players. Seeing interviews with guys like Steve Nash and Tony Parker was a great way to contextualize basketball history on this Olympic stage.

I would have liked a little more insight to the group play of the teams. It would have been great to see more about Canada going 3-0. Since these episodes all varied in length, it definitely could have been added into the earlier episodes. But there was plenty of other great material included.

There was a great episode that got into the history of Serbia and the breaking up of Yugoslavia as well. I learned a lot that I never knew before, and got unique insight through the lens of sport and the Olympics.

The final episode really delivers, too. I love how much it allowed Steph the glory for his amazing moment in the gold medal game. A historic and close to an unforgettable game.

And, finally, shout out to KD. That man lives and breathes basketball, and seeing that level of passion for not only the sport but the camaraderie it brings is inspiring.

This documentary is truly beautiful, capturing the essence of the Olympic spirit. Having attended the Olympics myself, I can say there's an indescribable energy and passion that only those who experience it firsthand can understand. Unfortunately, the negativity from Serbian fans is overwhelming, they seem to be the sorest losers in sports, complaining everywhere, even on IMDb. Instead of appreciating great basketball, they focus on excuses. Kevin Durant, on the other hand, is the epitome of humility and leadership, proving once again why he is the best player on Team USA. It's simple, there is only one gold medal winner in Olympic basketball: Team USA.

This documentary is solely amazing for watching just because of Serbia, Serbian Team and Coach. They are so amazing, smart, cute, charismatic, talented and down to earth. They are really one true gold! If Olympics were fair, and if whole draw wasn't rigged just so that host country of France can make it to the final, and if all referees didn't work again Serbian team just so USA can make it to another gold, everything would be different. Serbian bronze is shinning brighter than winners gold. Good luck boys, thank you for making this documentary watchable. It was pleasure of all of us in the world to watch you climb on that podium as one true winner. All the best in future!

Poor quality doc / reality TV.

I learnt nothing new from what I saw during the Olympics on social media, TV, etc.

The storyline is very simple and yet parts are very unbalanced.

I miss the days when documentaries were shot with a notion of good frame, good light... those days are definitely over! Not only interviews were not well shot in general, but games images were terrible. Did the guys who operated the cameras know anything about basketball?

Nothing very surprising from Netflix, as we're used to more and more poor content... I really hope they can level up the quality of these kind of programs and hire the appropriate crews to do so.
